Before & After Mixing

Testimonials

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan is an excellent engineer and great collaborator. His expertise and input were invaluable in transforming a handful of demos into an EP I couldn't be more proud of. I was consistently impressed by his speedy responses and the precision with which he executed adjustments. I recommend his services without reservation!

- Liam Kerwin

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Working with Dan was a great experience for me. He always replied promptly and professionally, and did an excellent job of mixing for me. It was no small task to give him a sloppy track made on a laptop in an apartment building and ask him to make it sound like it was made in a high-tech modern studio, but he hit the nail on the head. And he got it done fast too. All around, it was a joy to work with Dan and I would recommend his work.

-Noel Buddy and the Noel Buddy Cares Band

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ As somebody who normally does their own mixing, I reached out to Dan to mix a song of mine out of curiosity, and I am sure glad I did. Dan cleared out the mud in my original mix that I didn't even realize was there, and gave the proper space and presence to each element of the song. The guitars sounded brighter, the bass beefier, the drums punchier, and the vocals sat right where they needed to be. Dan also did a number of revisions in a timely manner, and communicated in a clear and friendly way. Would recommend.

-72ST

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan did a professional quality mix and master for me, with multiple revisions, and was prompt, courteous and knowledgable. Couldn't recommend more!

- Michal Prywes

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan does professional work quickly and at a very good price. What more could you ask? I'm beyond happy with his work, and I'll likely be hiring him again.

- Cole Crusciel

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan took a small, low quality recording I had made on my phone and transformed it into something great. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

- Juliano Dal

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ It’d be an understatement to say I’m satisfied with the work Dan has done on my music. Not only was the end result amazing every time, but the process was easy-going and swift, without sounding rushed in anyway. I look forward to doing more work with him in the future.

-Michael Amaddeo

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Fantastic working with Dan. He listened to my needs while putting his own unique stamp on the song. Dan enhanced the work and made it far more 'saleable' than my original mix. I recommend him highly

-Duncan Massey

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan was fantastic to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and has a great ear for mixing that makes it easy for artists to collaborate with. I would definitely recommend his services.

-Thomas Nixon

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ It was a pleasure to have Dan help me out with mixing my work. Dan is professional and very timely with getting drafts over to listen to. He was able to bring out qualities in the music that I could envision but not bring out myself. I hope to work with Dan again in the future and would highly recommend his services!

-Gennaro Gentile

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan is an outstanding engineer. He absolutely nailed the mix for my single while preserving the character of my rough mix. He has a fantastic ear for detail and went above and beyond to ensure every element meshed perfectly—especially the DI guitar I couldn't get to sound right myself. When the drummer went overboard on the hi-hats, Dan worked his magic and completely fixed it in the mix. The final product is polished, balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for.

-Chris Creguer

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ I had the pleasure of working with Dan Barracuda on my latest track, A Mugshot in your Eyes, and the results were incredible! He immediately identified that the original mix was unbalanced, with the drums overpowering the midrange. He expertly brought out the instruments and vocals, creating a perfect balance that the track was missing. His attention to detail and deep understanding of how to make every element shine truly transformed the song. I couldn’t be happier with the final mix! Highly recommended!

-John Mannix

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan did an outstanding job on my songs. It is a songwriter's dream to hear his/her song become a radio-quality production, and Dan used his creativity and skill to turn my acoustic song into a pitchable hit-to-be. I highly recommend him

- Brian Newman

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ I loved exploring music with Dan! His ability to highlight and enhance sound added a new layer of texture to my song. I was a little concerned that by polishing the song it may lose some of its raw essence, however to my surprise, not only was it sustained but a degree of newfound authenticity was coming through. I was amazed by that! The production and communication was so timely. I was able to have an input at every stage which shaped my vision into an actual reality. Dan was able to act efficiently to any of my suggestions as well as help resolve any technical problems on my part.

Throughout the whole experience, I felt elevated as an artist - I learned so much and was able to expand my understanding of sound.

- The Green Howls

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan did timely quality work for me. He sent me several revisions along the way and allowed me to several drafts to get my music sounding like what I hear in my head. I would highly recommend Dan for his great attitude, strong work ethic with attention to detail and his affordable prices!

- Matthew Freeman

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ My experience working with Dan was nothing but positive. He is so fast to reply, he gets things done very promptly and the communication was on point. He knew exactly what I wanted and delivered a result even better than I could've imagined

- Sara Salari

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan Barracuda did a fantastic job with my song. Thanks to Dan’s mix, my sound went from flat and lifeless to bold and audacious. I’m super pleased with the outcome.

-Eli Melmon

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐Thank you so much, the day we are famous we will search for you to record us an album! You were very attentive and nice. You made the instruments sound great and balanced, the cymbals used to sound too thin, and now they sound great and full, and the bass and guitar just feels great, the voice is perfect on the mix too

-Augusto Cola

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan is an excellent producer with experience across a wide variety of musical styles. His broad base of knowledge makes him more than just a piece of technical support. As a musician himself, Dan is able to offer guidance through both the technical and musical sides of production. The best part about working with Dan, though, is his ability to combine professionalism with kindness and fellowship. Casual, friendly dialogue makes the entire process more enjoyable and helps you perform your best.

-Josh Mavilia

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan certainly knows what is required to get a good mix and make a track sound full and lush. Not only is his turnaround time very quick, his communication is prompt and clear. He is also open to any improvements or tweaks so you never feel like you've just surrendered your track. I was really impressed with the mix that Dan created from my basic tracks, keeping the retro vibe of the song but making it sound modern and full.

-Terry Kemp

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan was incredibly helpful in transforming my song from a poorly mixed track into something truly outstanding. He fully grasped my vision and executed it flawlessly. Dan is a true expert in his field and knows exactly what he's doing.

-Harsh Dave

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐Dan was a pleasure to work with, he has a fantastic musical ear and was able to polish up my mix to a point of perfect clarity while retaining the integral power and edge of the music. I would recommend contacting him if you want a high-quality job with quick turn around and excellent communication. Five stars! 

-James Kenworthy

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Dan was a pleasure to work with. We appreciated his patience with us as we finalized the mix and his ability to understand our feedback and return our project in a professional manner that sounds great. Extra points for his quick responsiveness! If you have a project to mix or master, our experience with Dan has been excellent.
